Marriott to
merge with
Sodexho
By Brad Stamp
Staff Writer
If all goes according to plan,
Bethel's food service company,
Marriott Management Services, will soon merge with
Sodexho, an international catering company. If the merger
goes through, the North
American branch of Sodexho
and Marriott Management
Services will each spin-bff of
their larger companies and
then merge to form Sodexho
Marriott Services, Inc.
"The spin-off will allow us,
as the contracting portion of
Marriott, to focus more on
what we do. Now, instead of
decisions being made for the
entire Marriott company, we
can make them strictly for the
contracting and food service
aspect," said Nelson Hard,
Dining Center director. "By
merging with Sodexho we are
able to combine both our finances and talents, rather than
butting heads as competitors."

Should Bethel dance?

Judy Moseman, Vice President of Student Life fields a tough question at the Bethel
Dance Forum held earlier this month.
BSA soapbox examines the issue
By Shelley Moe
Guest Writer
Whether or not to dance
at Bethel has been a familiar debate at Bethel in recent
years and the specific topic
of debate at the Bethel student Association (BSA)
Soapbox Wednesday, Nov.
5. Students gathered for die
forum to listen to panelists
Vice President of Student
Life Judy Moseman and
Provost Jay Barnes.
Bethel has considered approving dancing on campus in
the past. The first time the
policy change was considered
was in the early 1980s, when
dancing off-campus and dance
performances on-campus in
theater were approved. The
debate was revisited in the
1993 school year when
Bethel's Precision Dance Team
was introduced—known now
as the Royalettes.
In order for the current
policy to change, the Board
of Trustees must agree on
the conditions for dancing
on campus. "So far it has
been difficult for them to
see dancing fit in a place of
holiness and righteous living. The most important
thing to remember is that
Bethel is striving to serve
the Lord," said Moseman.

Senior class gift: Old Snelling entrance revamp
By John Groh
News Editor
.
Senior class leaders implemented an unprecedented undertaking to raise money
which will be used to build a
formal brick entrance leading
into Bethel's campus off of Old
Snelling Road. This $20,000
project is the senior class' official gift to the college.
"The great thing about this
project is that it will provide a
totally new look to the outside
community while providing
seniors with an excellent way
to give back to Bethel," said
senior Elizabeth Morrison, senior gift committee member
and Student Body President.
Most colleges and university
campuses have formal entrances, said Morrison, something Bethel has lacked over
;Srfp^>
the almost three decades since
it moved to this location.
According to committee
member, senior Lisa Wexler,
the money needed to make the
project a reality can be raised
with the support of each senior. "By getting involved in
this project, each senior has the
opportunity to have a lasting,
physical impact on Bethel's
campus," said Wexler.

Prospective
students prevail
on campus
By Aaron Clark
Staff Writer
The increased number of
young people running around
Bethel on the weekend of Friday, Nov. 7 was due to the 330
visitors here for Fall Campus
Visit Weekend. Compared to
fall campus visit weekends of
the past, this one was the largest ever, with an additional 70
prospective students.
"A lot of parents are more
willing to pay to have their
children in a environment like
Bethel," said Admissions
Event Coordinator Heather
Heckmann, giving an explanation for the increase of prospective students. The growth
Bethel is experiencing is typical of the growth that other
private Christian colleges
across the nation are experiencing, said John Lassen Director of College Admissions.
With the increased number
of visitors for the weekend, the
Admissions staff had two primary concerns. Their first concern was being able to provide
housing for all the visitors.
Despite the sizable task, housing was provided for all students. However, some of
Bethel's student hosts ended
up with more than one visitor
staying in their rooms.
The other area of concern
for the Admissions office was
classroom space. With visitors
attending classes— some of
which were already full—the
problem was die possibility of
overcrowded classes. To remedy this problem, many of
Bethel's academic departments held seminars for the
visitors. In these seminars prospective students were able to
have their questions relating to
the specific department answered by professors.
Campus Visit Weekends
are designed to give students
a real taste of college life. "We
try to give the visitors an opportunity to become a Bethel
student for a couple days,"
said Lassen. This fall's Cam-
